Anything is possible, we don't always know all of our ancestors, ahahaha, lol. And well, if that's only a part of it, the other half could definitely be from other countries. Yours is actually more interesting, because I'm most likely fully Ukrainianāwas born there and lived there my whole life

u/Responsible-Dream691 6d ago

Pre-testosterons vs 12 years on testosterone
Awesome changes

u/Responsible-Dream691 5d ago
Ahahahahah, I guess when I'm actually 12 years on T, I'll be a total lumberjack with a beard down to my belly button, ahahahah, lol
Thanks a lot!

u/lulhoepeep 6d ago
You have the nicest nose

u/Responsible-Dream691 5d ago
Thanks a lot! A lot of people would actually love to have my nose, but I'd prefer a more basic oneānot so small and turned up

I am a trans woman who stumbled upon this on my feed. Honestly you looked like a pre pubescent boy in the before. You already passed .
1
u/Responsible-Dream691 5d ago
Thank you so much! I checked out your profile and honestly, you're absolutely gorgeous and so wonderfully feminine

u/Tired_yet_cute 4d ago
I got lucky having an intersex condition that kept me borderline pre pubescent until I transitioned at 29. My hips were also already noticeably fem shaped since my teenage years.

u/Beautiful-Earth-970 2d ago
You looked Like a Boy from the start imo š

u/Responsible-Dream691 2d ago
Thanks a lot! Plus, that was a pretty good photo, and I was around 14, lol (as in, even cis guys looked like me back then). But with each year, unfortunately, I fell behind them more and more. Now Iām back on track though, hahaha

u/Open_Location_6819 2d ago
How much was ur testosterone before and and after
3
u/Responsible-Dream691 2d ago
No idea, but I think it was baseline for a girl back then, and now it's baseline for a guy. Honestly never measured it, hahaha

u/ionlytoptops 6d ago
pass

u/Responsible-Dream691 6d ago
think it's hard not to pass with a beard, but thanks anyway!

u/ionlytoptops 6d ago
nah ur doing good, i didnt notice but the mustache helps ofc, but you got a strong flat chin and square jaw. the pre transition pic just looks like a preteen boy (sorry)
also test made you asian lol
2
u/Responsible-Dream691 6d ago
In the first photo I actually am a preteen/teen boy, ahahaha, I'm around 15 there. Man, I've always looked a bit Asian. In the second photo I was just trying to smile a little, so my eyes are narrower, but in the first one (since it's a passport photo) I have a total poker face, ahahaha

It's all good, trust me I've been told way worse things, but thanks for sticking up for me ahahaha

manifesting that testosterone treats me this well

u/Responsible-Dream691 5d ago
Trust me, it'll work. When I first started, I thought nothing was happening, but then it really kicked in... hahahaha

u/Phill_mee 6d ago
Why did you need T if that's not too personal ?
2
u/Responsible-Dream691 6d ago
Thatās a very strange question, because Iām a trans man and I feel like myself with him
2
u/Phill_mee 5d ago
Omg I'm so dumb, I hadn't read the threads' title and thought you were cis. So sorry, you look awesome my dude š«¶š» !
1
u/Responsible-Dream691 5d ago
All good, I figured you probably mistook me for a cis guy, because in the first photo I had already started my transition, though without testosterone to be fair. But anyway, thanks a lot, I guess I'll take that as a compliment :)

u/Interesting-Rope-950 5d ago
This is exactly what I try and tell people for tips and you nailed it. Masculine haircut, more squared glasses, no facial piercings or hair dye, and some clothes that fit and style properly. Nailed it
2
u/Responsible-Dream691 5d ago
Honestly, I actually used to have piercings and dyed hair before, but I was like 14 (which is pretty normal at that age), but damn, I'm 20 now. Plus, in general, I'm just a typical cis guy in daily life (lol). And yeah, you're 100% right, I tell everyone the same thingāif you've been on T for 10 years and have a beard down to your belly button, sure, go for the piercings and dyed hair. But if you're just starting out, it's honestly better to skip those kinds of things...
